Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The two of them spoke in a reserved manner but if we were to dissect their words, the tribe leader was saying that - look, you saint lords keep taking advantage of my tribe and we even need to take dangerous risks for you to achieve your ends. Qin Wentianʼs response was that this originally was already a transaction. How much benefits I gain now will determine how much I pay back to your tribe in the future, what do you mean by me taking advantage of your tribe? If you donʼt wish to follow me, itʼs fine by me. I will respect your choice. However, in the future, the fate of the Battle Saint Sect would have nothing to do with me.

”How arrogant.” The old man mused. After that, numerous figures flickered as they arrived here. These were all immortal kings and had heard Qin Wentianʼs words. Now, their gazes towards Qin Wentian was all different.

”Senior, you guys take two hours to consider. Let me wait outside, and if there are people willing to follow me, senior can choose the number, junior wonʼt interfere at all. However, thereʼs one point. For those who choose to follow me, I donʼt hope that there would be any unhappiness. Naturally, I will also respect the experts who choose to follow me.”

After speaking, Qin Wentian directly turned and left. Just like what he has said, he took things very calmly and would respect the choice made by the Battle Saint Tribe.

After he left, the immortal kings of the Battle Saint Tribe glanced mutually at each other. The old man was still standing there in a somewhat dazed state.

”This fellow is truly arrogant.” An immortal king spoke in a low voice.

”Indeed, but his strength is the real deal. If what he says is true, that he broke through to the immortal king ream within 200 years of cultivation, his talent is truly extremely terrifying.” Another immortal king spoke as he continued, ”For such a character, he naturally would be proud and arrogant. Earlier, the tribe leader intentionally wanted to make him feel that he owes our Battle Saint Tribe. However, he clearly felt extremely unhappy in his heart when being spoken to in this manner and felt that it doesnʼt really matter to him if experts from our tribe follows after him or not.”

”What do you all think?” The tribe leader glanced around. The people here were all immortal kings of the Battle Saint Tribe. At this level, they naturally are extremely powerful and had lived for many years. Right now, wanting them to be like their immortal-foundation counterparts from the first world, wholeheartedly following Qin Wentian, the difficulty was naturally higher.

After all, the cultivation bases of many people here were all higher than Qin Wentianʼs.

”Iʼm used to living freely and unrestricted, I really canʼt accept such an arrangement.” An immortal king smiled. Clearly, he was unwilling to follow Qin Wentian.

”This is the order given by our ancestors, even if we want to change the ancestral teachings, itʼs not so easy to do so. If we choose to reject him, it would mean that we have given up on this generation Saint Lord. But since the ancestral teachings remain, there would always be future Saint Lords and we would have to follow them eventually after all. From what I see, we shouldnʼt reject this generationʼs Saint Lord.”

”Indeed, since he could speak those words earlier, it means that he is a man of grand ambitions and also has immense confidence in himself.”

Everyone expressed their views. Some were unhappy with regards to Qin Wentianʼs attitude while others felt that he was someone worth following.

However, among those who supported him, there were also some who didnʼt want to leave their current lifestyle. After all, given their pride, although they felt what Qin Wentian said might be right, there was no question that they would have to follow his every order once they agreed to follow him. Such a sudden change was truly tough to accept.

The tribe leader listened to everyoneʼs opinion before he spoke, ”Summon all our immortal kings back. Since all of you have different opinions, I will respect them all. For those who wish to follow after him, you all can do so. For those who donʼt want to, you all can stay here. Everything will be decided by your own choices.”

Everyone nodded. At this moment, Qin Wentian had exited and stood outside the hall. Before this, he already anticipated that things wouldnʼt go as smoothly as they did in the first world. Hence, he came here by breaking through the barrier and decided to display his prowess openly.

In truth, things were as he had expected. It wasnʼt easy to make immortal kings follow him wholeheartedly but he wouldnʼt force others against their will too. He would simply wait for the Battle Saint Tribe to decide.

Time slowly flowed by, Qin Wentian only gave the Battle Saint Tribe two hours to decide. He had no way to determine which choice they would make, but he would just stoically accept it.

During these two hours, more people came by, walking past Qin Wentian. All of them were powerful characters, at the immortal king realm.

Even before the two hours came to an end, the tribe leader had already appeared.

”Tribe leader, do you have a decision?” Qin Wentian smiled.

”Saint Lord.” The tribe leader called out, causing a smile to appear in Qin Wentianʼs eyes.

”Saint Lord, there are still many immortal kings who are currently cultivating outside and canʼt rush back in time. Right now, the main thing I want to tell Saint Lord is that there are quite a number of immortal kings willing to follow you. But as to the exact number, I can only be sure after everyone returns. Saint Lord, are you able to wait here for a few more days?”

Qin Wentian pondered a little before nodding with a smile, he knew it was impossible for all the immortal kings of the Battle Saint Palace to be gathered here.

”Since this is the case, I will roam about the second world. Tribe leader, give me a deadline, I will rush back before then.” Qin Wentian spoke.

”Letʼs make it seven days. Saint Lord, you can choose to stay at the Battle Saint Palace instead and I can send some people to accompany you.” The tribe leader spoke.

”Fine as well.” Qin Wentian nodded. Since the people of the Battle Saint Palace came to a compromise and was willing to follow him, he naturally didnʼt want their relationship to be too strained. Since this was the case, he will stay in the palace and familiarize himself with them. In any case, seven days would pass by in the blink of an eye.

”Saint Lord, please follow me.” The mid-stage immortal king who was his opponent before walked over. He then led the way, after asking Qin Wentian to follow him.

”Saint Lord, my name is Qi Yuan. Are you angry because of what the tribe leader said to you before?” That mid-stage immortal king asked.

Qin Wentian shook his head, ”Nope, because the tribe leader didnʼt say anything wrong. I can also understand where he is coming from.”

Qi Yuan froze, staring with some bewilderment at Qin Wentianʼs calmness. Qin Wentianʼs calmness wasnʼt faked, he could tell that it was real.

”Thereʼs no need for you to care about my opinions to the Battle Saint Tribe. Like I said before, I will respect the tribeʼs decision. I will do what I ought to do, why would I be bothered by his words?” Qin Wentian smiled, dispersing Qi Yuanʼs doubts.

”Saint Lordʼs state of heart is truly extraordinary.” Qi Yuan nodded. After that, he brought Qin Wentian to a certain residence. ”Saint Lord, you can rest here temporarily. I will send out some commands and if you have any needs, you just have to say the word and it would be attended to. Saint Lord can also wander freely about in the Battle Saint Palace.”

”Right.” Qin Wentian nodded. After that, Qi Yuan departed and went to make the preparations. Momentarily, a commotion shook the Battle Saint Palace. The young man who came here to challenge the sect, not only did he not receive any punishments, he was treated as a valuable guest and was given extremely preferential treatment.

The young man and young woman from before felt extremely complicated in their hearts. What was going on exactly? Could it be that this young man was really joining the Battle Saint Palace?

During this week, Qin Wentian didnʼt head out. He quietly cultivated while waiting for news.

After seven days, the tribe leader personally brought over ten immortal kings to the residence Qin Wentian was in.

”Tribe leader.” Qin Wentian glanced at the immortal kings before him. Other than the tribe leader, there were a total of thirty-six others, all of them at the immortal king realm.

”Saint Lord.” The tribe leader nodded. After that, the immortal kings all nodded to Qin Wentian respectively as they greeted him as Saint Lord well.

Upon seeing this scene, Qin Wentian already knew their intentions. He understood that these people were the immortal kings who were willing to follow him. A smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he stared at them.

These thirty-six immortal kings were the elites of the Battle Saint Tribe, they would definitely form a terrifying force.

”Saint Lordʼs combat prowess is sufficient to fight against mid-stage opponents. Hence, these thirty-six experts are handpicked personally by me and their cultivation bases are at the mid-stage or late-stage immortal king ream. Among them, there are three whoʼs already standing at the peak of the immortal king ream.” The tribe leader spoke. Qin Wentian nodded, silently musing that this must be the tribe leaderʼs way of mitigating what happened earlier. The strength of these experts he handpicked had all exceeded his expectations.

”There are also initial-stage immortal kings who wants to follow Saint Lord, but from my point of view, even if they joined forces, they wouldnʼt be able to defeat you. Hence, I didnʼt allow them to follow. Naturally, if Saint Lord needs them, I can also allow them to go with you.” The tribe leader continued.

”I have a suggestion.” Qin Wentian spoke.

”Saint Lord, please speak your mind.” The tribe leader replied.

”There are many immortal kings here in the second world. If there are initial-stage immortal kings who wish to follow me out, they can do so but I wouldnʼt need them to support me. The world outside is unimaginably vast, there are many other worlds other than the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Itʼs a good idea for them to go out and gain experience and in the future, if there really is a calamity, at the very least, some roots of the Battle Saint Tribe would still be able to survive in the countless particle worlds.” Qin Wentian spoke.

The eyes of the tribe leader flashed before he nodded, ”Saint Lordʼs words are logical, let me seek their opinions and allow them to choose. If they really wish to go out, I will not stop them.”

”Right. Tribe leader you can go make the arrangements. The rest of us will stay here first.” Qin Wentian spoke. Everyone nodded as the tribe leader departed instantly.

”With regards to everyone, Wentian should be considered a junior. But since all of you are willing to follow me, I will do my best to help you all increase your strength and reach a brand new peak. You guys, follow me in.” After speaking, Qin Wentian walked towards the cultivation grounds in his residence. The immortal kings here all had looks of curiosity as they followed Qin Wentian in.

After that, Qin Wentian took out the supreme treasured cauldron and allowed the immortal kings to enter it. Given the potential of the Battle Saint Tribe, it shouldnʼt be a problem for them to endure the baptism of the Sacred Luminance.

Qin Wentian stayed here as he waited for them to finish. With a troop of immortal kings like this following after him, he hoped to form a truly elite army as all of them grew together, ascending newgrounds.

After some time, everyone walked out from the cauldron. The tribe leader had already finished selecting those who wanted to go out and Qin Wentian led all the experts away as he set off from here.
